Speedy Wideout needed

[BillsNick]

There has been a lot of talk about our offensive needs, especially at WR.

I would like to know everyones oppinion on who you would like to see us get, whether it be through FA or the college Draft.

I honestly don't know enough about who is out there to make a judgement, but I have seen a bit of this Fitgerald fella, though it seems he may go too high for us to pick..

fitsgerald will be gone by the team we pick

That's what I figured. Too bad, he is truly amazing.

Dennis Northcutt will be available in the offseason, and he's got some wheels. Might be kinda cheap too.

can someone explain why we need a WR

option 1 - darrell jackson
option 2 - dennis northcutt.

btw, there is no sense in drafting one.. WRs take years to develop, unless you get a rarity like moss or boldin..

we already have reed and aikens... we dont need more young guys.

Nice Ryven, hes rite, we need to focus on a better, more solid OL and DL. Rite now Peerless couldn't get down the field without a sack.

I don't think a speed receiver is the top need for the Bills, but I think it could help out the passing game. After almost two full seasons, I'm convinced that Reed will never be more than a possession receiver. I don't mean that as an insult, but he's just not a game breaker and he doesn't force defences to make special accommodations. When you have players that force the other team to do something out of the ordinary, it opens other things up. Aiken is the same way. He's Reed with about 4 more inches of height.

There are some guys Buffalo might pick up later in the draft. Ohio State had a WR named Drew Carter who is one of the fastest players in the country. He's 6'4" to boot. Physically, he's a Randy Moss clone. He's not been as productive as a college player. He entered college too light and he's been somewhat injury prone. The Bills might be able to pick him up in the latter rounds because he blew a knee in October. He won't contribute much next year, but if he can put his injury behind him, he could be special later. Unlike, Moss, he's supposed to be a high character guy.

Jeremiah Cockeran is a WR from Hawaii who runs a sub 4.3 40. He's smaller, about the size of Peerless Price, but has been very productive for the Rainbow Warriors. Hopefully, Buffalo will have a new OC next year, but if they don't revamp their offence, Cockeran plays under run and shoot guru, June Jones. He's used to making the kind of reads that Gilbride expects on his receivers. That just might help his learning curve.

We need a speed demon who can stretch the field. It's not our top issue, but I would say it's an issue that must be addressed this offseason. We don't have any speed at reciever.

Thank you very much its just Reed is starting to come along and we have moulds. If we go with a run first Offense then what we have will do just fine.

He's fast but he's very small. They won't utilize him at wideout, but it would be interesting to see them try it.
